The archaeological ruins of Cherchell are a valuable heritage.

Many pieces of the museum of Cherchell were discovered by chance or during excavations. The collections, which are now housed in the National Public Museum of the ancient Caesarea, are among the most prestigious in the Maghreb.

 

 

MUSEE

After the 1844 earthquake

 

 

With the arrival of the French in 1840 in Cherchell and the construction of the colonial city, many objects were discovered and their management was anarchic.
In 1844, the objects discovered during the numerous excavations at Cherchell were stored in a small mosque belonging to the Berkani family. After the destruction of this building during an earthquake in 1846, these objects were transferred to an open gallery in the courtyard of a Moorish-style house occupied by the administrative services.

In 1853, the municipality decided to destroy the premises and the collections were transferred to another premises located on the street Abdelhak, ex Caesarea. Several invaluable pieces are transported to the Louvre Museum and the Algiers Museum of Antiquities. In 1855, objects were stored at the hotel. Given the importance of the discoveries, the General Governor of Algeria decided to endow the town of Cherchell with a real museum. It was in 1908 that the present museum opened its doors to the public

Architecturally, the museum is built in the Moorish style. It is made up of four galleries closed by bay windows opening onto a patio. It contains collections of mosaics and antique sculpture, funerary stelae and architectural elements, considered among the most prestigious in the Maghreb. .
